The previous administration “managed to let go detainees and they ended up on the battlefield” ? Or the previous adminstration was pressured into letting detainees go because the left thinks these terrorist deserve some kind of American freedom of justice?

I think the decision is form over substance. In other words, whether the charges stand or not means nothing of substance – the dude ain’t going anywhere soon.

No, I really don’t, but what I’m asking is, what do you think of such a decision?

The fact that the previous administration managed to let go detainees and they ended up on the battlefield is a very keen example of why the process needs to be reviewed. As in one of the statements, time to read the whole article, folks. Present charges are being dropped doesn’t mean that he is being released. Just that the kangaroo court that was trying to try him before suddenly got a real lawyer in charge.
As for the other comment about “Let Obama do his job”, please don’t belittle anyone into staying on the sidelines of this or any other administration. I voted for the guy and I’ll be the first to reccommend the boot should he deserve it. He’ll do his job and I’ll watch every move.

Isaac:

There is a saying in this country called “form over substance.” Do you know what that means?

My point is, are you in support of not having charges slammed against this hadji nutcase?

Isaac:

It’s form over substance, as cj more or less argues in the top post. So what’s your point?

Well CF, what do you think of THIS BHO decision?

Don’t forget to read beyond the headlines, folks. The charges will clearly be refiled.

You should be happy that Guantanamo is being cleaned up. It legitimizes our struggle against extremism.

For years, Guantanamo and Bush’s executive orders have been stains upon our nation’s honor. Let’s leave torture, unbound executive power, and flimsy civil liberties to the fundamentalists. Let Obama do his job.

Take care, guys.

Whoa! What can be said? This story sadly, will play out and time will tell. But then again, isn’t that the theme for this presidency?
